A non stressed Serengeti safari!
When we met Makasa during one of their presentations about the Makasa organisation, it felt good from the beginning. Our request for a proposal for a safari trip was understood and we received a nice itinerary for our holiday.
A trip well organized in a personal way all the way!
Our private 4WD Jeep was in a very good state and the driver/guide was excellent. He made us really enjoy the several game-drives and could tell us a lot more about the wildlife!
The diversity of the accommodation was what we expected and really value for money.
Our next trip to Tanzania will be organized by Makasa again!

Great 3-day safari!
Overall, this was a great experience!
Selma communicated with us along the way and she was very responsive. We loved the diversity of the 3 parks that we visited (Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro, Tarangire) - each of them were very different and had a lot to offer! Our guide, Robert, was knowledgeable and kind. We stayed at Simba Karatu Lodge for the 2 nights and it was absolutely beautiful and the food was great.
The one thing we were disappointed in is the lunches. When you are paying thousands of dollars, we would expect better food, not just a piece of white bread with cheese and some fruit. I am not sure why we could not get leftovers from the previous dinner or a better quality lunch. We communicated with the lodge several times about our food restrictions, but they had no idea how to make a vegetarian lunch box and one without dairy. They messed up all 3 days, even after clarifying what we could and could not eat. We were especially disappointed because the food at the lodge for dinner was great! I am not sure why they could not have made more effort for the lunches. Overall, this is not a big deal, but I had much higher expectations given the price we were paying.

Makasa managed to organize an unforgettable vacation for us
Pleasant and personal communication
Flexible to our wishes.
Well organized safari with pleasant, reliable guide with al lot of knowledge
Beautiful lodges in beautiful locations.
It was nice that, thanks to Makasa's selection of small-scale lodges in close cooperation with local people and local projects, we could return something for the population.

Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro crater; beautiful!
We booked a safari for 2 persons, but one week before we wanted to our son and his girlfriend. No problem at all!
Easy commuication.

Good organisation for safari
It started not so good. We were at a different gate at the border than our guide. There was a miscommunication between the office and the guide. It was solved quickly but Makasa Tanzanian Safaris could have called us, to apologize.
After this we could have not wish for a better guide. Tom was the best. A good driver and very good guide. We learned a lot. He knows a lot about the flora and fauna. He also knew the right spots for the animals we would like to spot. It was a great experience, because of him. He is also a funny guy.
The accomodations were also perfect. I would choose Makasa Tanzanian Safaris again if I would go to Tanzania.
